Gasol contributes 10 points in Lakers’ win over Portland

ESPN: Kobe Bryant scored 14 of his 36 points in the fourth quarter, Pau Gasol added 10 points in his first game in nearly three weeks and the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Portland Trail Blazers 104-91 on Wednesday night.

Bryant also had 13 rebounds and seven assists for the Lakers (51-24), who trail New Orleans by 1½ games and San Antonio by one game in the Western Conference standings. The Hornets have eight games left, the Lakers and Spurs seven each.

Gasol, playing for the first time since spraining his left ankle March 14 and admittedly not fully healed, played nearly 32 minutes — far more than expected. He added six rebounds and seven assists.

“It’s going to be sore, there’s going to be pain,” he said before the game. “I just have to deal with it and get over it.”

The Lakers were 5-4 in his absence after going 15-4 in his first 19 games after Los Angeles acquired him from Memphis.

What a difference between a real PF/C (Gasol) VS a mediocre one (Turriaf).He’s more of a cheerleader and an ugly ass one at that ha ha lol

I hope that Bynum at least makes it back in time for the Clipper game because i know that those fag’s are going to do their best to ruin the Lakers run for 1st place…

MILO

Yea and for those of you wondering why there is no post game report tonight, it more than likely is because Jonny’s reports and previews suck and TLN decided not to post it.Sorry Jonny just telling it like it is…

i’ve been holding my breath on every game since gasol went out. last night was the first game i’ve felt relaxed watching the lakers since gasol twisted his ankle.

looks like they are a lock for third place, at the very least. taking first is going to be a dog fight.

Yeah, 24allup inya is an idiot… Ronny has been more than important in our success this year. He obviously doesn’t watch the games and is probably a seasonal fan who is only interested in the Lakers when they win. He probably has no idea who all the Lakers are and couldn’t tell you what all their positions are or what their specialties are in games.
